Apache ANT Standalone GUI for easy fulfillment of goals

Question

Does anyone know of a GUI written for Apache ANT. We are exploring the development of a graphical interface to implement some of our developer tools for some of the designers and artists of our team.

I found a couple on Ant's external website, but most of them are used to create Ant files that don't just list public targets.

There are several tasks in the ANT forms project that allow you to create simple forms that can be used to invoke ANT goals.

Here is an example with three buttons:

<project default="menu">

    <property environment="env"/>

    <path id="runtime.cp">
        <pathelement location="${env.ANTFORM_HOME}/lib/antform.jar"/>
    </path>

    <target name="menu">        
        <taskdef name="antmenu" classname="com.sardak.antform.AntMenu" classpathref="runtime.cp"/>

        <antmenu image="${env.ANTFORM_HOME}/doc/images/logo-small.jpg" title="My simple form" stylesheet="${env.ANTFORM_HOME}/style.test">
            <label>A short label with a few explanatory words concerning the menu at hand.</label>
            <button label="Echo 1 target" target="echo1"/>
            <button label="Echo 2 target" target="echo2"/>
            <button label="Echo 3 target" target="echo3"/>            
        </antmenu>
    </target>

    <target name="echo1">
        <echo>DO SOMETHING</echo>
    </target>

    <target name="echo2">
        <echo>DO SOMETHING</echo>
    </target>

    <target name="echo3">
        <echo>DO SOMETHING</echo>
    </target>

</project>

I always really liked this project, it is implemented using xsl and does not require any other dependencies.
